Gold continues to tread water in familiarterritory near the $1100/oz figure as prices await a new directional catalyst. Near-term resistance is at 1109.28, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 1132.79. Alternatively, a move below trend line support at 1084.49 clears the way for a test of the July 20 low at 1071.28.
